Kelly,
I'm a mother of an 11 month old boy who has seizures. We are still waiting for a diagnoses. I understand what you are feeling.
Please don't accept the diagnoses of acid reflux. You seem as if you doubt that this is his problem. We have a mothers intuition and we know when something is terribly wrong with our children. My husband and I have vowed that we will do whatever it takes to find out the cause of our sons seizures. Even if it means moving to another state. We are the voice for our tiny babies and we need to keep talking until we find somebody who will listen. If you are insured then talk to different doctors. It couldn't hurt.
Best of luck to your family. I will pray for you.
Tina

I am sorry that you are going through this tough time. I went through it when my baby turned 4 months old and got his immunizations and had adverse reaction. He is now 18 months old and we are struggling every day with the problem the immunization has created. My baby had very long seizures over an hour long that had to be "broken" everytime at the ER...we took an ambulance ride every week to the ER cause that is how often he would have these horrible seizures. It was extremely stressful on our family. We have now found a WONDERFUL pediactric neurologist and she has help so much in finding the "right" medication that has at least controlled the very long seizures...but we struggle everyday cause my baby still has around 40 + seizures during the day! I just want to say it might take a while till you find the correct medication for your baby but hang in there. I will keep you in my thought and prayers for your baby and my prayers for you to stay strong for your baby and family. If you would like to ask me more questions you can e-mail me directly at kwajkid@hotmail.com. If not good luck to you.
